Unveiling the Mystery of Folic Acid -- Why You Need It Before Pregnancy!

Pre-pregnancy care is very important, would-be-mothers should take care of themselves and should start taking folic acid supplementation when they are planning for pregnancy. Three months pre-pregnancy folic acid intake and continuation of that, for first 3 months of pregnancy periods, can avoid a group of dreaded congenital abnormalities in unborn baby known as 'neural tube defect'. Neural tube defect ranges from spina bifida occulta to anencephaly (incompatible with life).
